Active Living Technologies
The Active Living Technologies Research Theme aims to enable lifelong active living to enhance musculoskeletal health and general health. Our work includes any conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system, including neurological and respiratory conditions, ageing, cancer, obesity, so our work overlaps with several other themes in the Faculty of Health Sciences. Musculoskeletal conditions, such as osteoarthritis and back pain, can limit activity, so their prevention and effective management are vital for an active lifestyle. Our work involves adolescents through to older adults, and includes a variety of conditions that affect people who are frail or sedentary through to people undertaking recreational and elite sports.
